BVWS Harpenden Auction - March 5th 2006
I have just added a list of the lots in the auction (correct as of today) to the BVWS website here http://www.bvws.org.uk/auctions/harp...2006/index.htm. Unfortunately there are no photos this time.
If you wish to bid on any items but cannot attend, please email Mike Barker on the email address in the front of the BVWS Bulletin no later than Saturday afternoon. |

Re: Harpenden Auction - March 5th 2006
The booking form states, "Viewing from 9.30 am, sale starts promptly at 10.30 am, stallholders and helpers admitted 45 minutes before general admission" ( 8.45 am) . Hope that helps.
Regards, Mick. |

Re: Harpenden Auction - March 5th 2006
Thanks Mick - it doesn't say that on my booking form, merely states viewing 9.30 am to auction start 10.30am and there was no info re setup with the sellers' infomation received hence the question

Re: Harpenden Auction - March 5th 2006
Hi Alvin, Actually there are two booking forms! One for auction entries and one for stall bookings. Only the stall booking form gives the 45 minutes before admission for stallholders and helpers information, so some confusion is understandable .
Regards, Mick. |

Re: Harpenden Auction - March 5th 2006
I'm confused (happens far too often these days).
Could someone please clarify when the sale starts (I believe 10.30) and when the auction starts. Previous posts have referenced both (or they may be the same). Thanks Jeremy |

Re: Harpenden Auction - March 5th 2006
Hi Jeremy,
They are the same thing. The sale (main Auction) starts at 10:30, stops for lunch at about 12:30 ish, when the BVWS AGM runs for about 45 mins and then starts up again. This gives everybody a good chance to move around the venue and participate in the Auction, the AGM, look at the stalls in the smaller hall and have some lunch depending on what you want to do. Mike...

Re: Harpenden Auction - March 5th 2006
Hello,
Nice to see so many of you at the Harpenden auction yesterday Hope you and your wife soon get over the flu, Jeffrey One thing worth mentionning about these early start auctions is that one can't obtain a bidding card while the auction is in progress, so it's essential to get one in advance or turn up on time .... which I didn't. No problem, there wasn't anything I wanted in the morning auction and having got a card at lunchtime, I won an immaculate Ultra Coronation Twin (£90) and another excellent Pye P43 (£10) in the afternoon.

Re: Harpenden Auction - March 5th 2006
It was interesting - first one I have attended - many things that did not meet reserve seemed way OTT, but there were many bargains. I did not have any intention of bidding, as I have too many projects on the go altogether, and at an auction I have not been to before, I just lurk.
It was good to put a few more faces to names and had a chat to one or two (faces and names!). Also to do various removals for folks oop norf. I spotted you, Howard, but you did not see me!
